Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 4533106, member: 2524"] If the depth problem is at the 4, playing the double big so Sanogo gets time at the 4 relieves the depth problem. If the depth problem is at the 5, meaning you are afraid that Sanogo and Clingan may both foul out leaving the team without a center, then you are anticipating a much higher foul rate with the time at the 4. Currently Sanogo+Clingan as a pair are averaging fewer than 5 combined fouls per game in 40 minutes per game combined playing time. If the double big increases their playing time to 50 minutes, a 25% increase, you'd expect a combined 6.0 fouls per game, and very little chance of a dual foul out. If one fouls out, you just go back to the single big lineup we've been playing with. So I don't understand why you think Hurley's concern is a depth concern. He just prefers Karaban to Sanogo at the 4, and prefers other guys to Karaban at the 3. [/QUOTE]
